Hello all!

I have cable TV with Verizon Fios and a Sony TV. I use an Amazon Firestick for streaming.

All-of-the-sudden, the streaming is fine, but the cable TV has no sound.

I have tried unplugging everything and reconnecting; rebooting the Firestick; and adjusting the volume settings. None of this has worked.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

--Wes

Did you try a different HDMI cable?

You should have (as an example), Cable box connected to HDMI1 on the TV

Firestick connected to HDMI2 on the TV.

One should not affect the other in the least.

Are they connected like this, to separate HDMI inputs on the TV?

I have a Samsung TV (smart) and use wireless headphones. If I have the TV speaker on mute and then connect the headphones, it overrides the mute. Beause of that, I'd wonder if there was a different setting for audio output that you may have turned off somehow.

We also have one off-brand ROKU TV that will occasionally lose audio altogether, and the only fix is to remove power for a few seconds and plug it back in. Just power cycling doesn't work.

The Samsung TV should have audio settings that you can check. I assume your headphones are Bluetooth?

What happens if you mute your TV speakers again after connecting headphones?

I don't know... usually I just pause the video. It's not a problem for me... I was just offering what may be a solution for the OP.

A little test this afternoon...

If I mute the TV speakers and then connect the BT wireless, that overrides the mute and I get audio in the headphones, but the little 'mute' icon on the TV still shows muted. Hitting the mute button at that point will mute the headphones.

Regardless of whether or not the BT is muted, when disconnected the TV goes back to the state it was in prior to the connection.

That's difficult to put into words and makes my head hurt!

Check the TV settings or better yet lookup the manual and read there. Post the model of the TV here and we can look it up to maybe clear up some confusion.
